Surgical Errors And Negligence Can Cause Serious Injuries

Laparoscopic surgery, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and robotic surgery have become popular for numerous procedures, including gallbladder surgery, some hysterectomies and stomach surgeries. Unfortunately, laparoscopic surgical procedures make it more difficult for the surgeon to visualize the organs. Errors such as nicking or puncturing an organ are not uncommon.

There are many additional types of surgical errors and negligence, including:

Patients may suffer serious injuries such as organ damage, nerve injuries, paralysis, brain damage from lack of oxygen, chronic pain, amputation, sepsis or internal bleeding. These injuries may result in temporary or permanent disability, or wrongful death.
